Abstract The purpose of this study was to evaluate the infuluence of the childhood speed of growth in mass relative to the speed of growth in stature on the development of motor abilities by an allometric anal...ysis (y=bxa). The materials usd for this study were the longitudinal data of the stature, body mass, body composition, and the motor abilities of 25 boys whose age ranged from 2.5 to 5.5 years old, performed from 2006-2009. The results obtained were as follows; 1) The mean allometry coefficients of stature and body mas was 2.04. 2) It may be said that a low group may have a slightly superior motor ablitity than high group where an increase in the body mass is remarkable when evaluating the motor ability in individuals demonstrating the same stature or the same body mass. 3) We were not able to determine whether an increase in the body mass was due to changes in the fat-free mass or the far mass in this study. Our findings suggested that the development of the motor ability should be taken into account when evaluating the growth speed of the body composition (FFM and FM), but not the body mass.show more
